CT Sizing For Malawi

This document contains calculations for knee point voltage for busbar and transformer differential protection and burden calculations for metering and protection cores for the Bangwe substation. It provides inputs like relay type, cable length and resistance, transformer parameters, and fault currents. The knee point voltage requirements are calculated based on internal faults of 25kA and external faults of 3280A. The maximum knee point voltage requirement is 20(RCT + 10) volts. Burden calculations show the metering and protection cores can handle the lead and relay burdens within their available VA ratings.

E - CT ADEQUACY CALCULATION - Vk REQUIRED= (If X 1000 / Primary Current ) X ( Rct + Rb + 2 Rl' )

E-1 MINIMUM = 20XIsrX(Rct+Rl'+Rb)


20XIsr= 20
Rl'+Rb= 5.6454

Minimum Requirement = 20(Rct+10)

E-2 Internal Fault, Vk REQUIRED= 0.4x(Iint max X 1000 / Primary Current ) X ( Rct + Rb + 2 Rl' )

Rb+2Rl'= 5.6454
0.4x(If X 1000 / Primary Current )= 16.6666666667
selected knee point voltage= 20 (RCT + 10) volt

E-3 Internal Fault, Vk REQUIRED=1.6x(Iext max X 1000 / Primary Current ) X ( Rct + Rb + 2 Rl' )

Rb+2Rl'= 5.6454
1.6xIextmax / Primary Current )= 8.7476666667
selected knee point voltage= 10 (RCT + 10) volt

final selection, the maximum requirement 20 (RCT + 10)

E - CT ADEQUACY CALCULATION - VA REQUIRED = Meter Burden + Lead Burden = Meter Burden + (2 * Rl') Available Required
E-1 = Rm + ( 2 X Rl') VA VA
20 5.6454

E - CT ADEQUACY CALCULATION - VA REQUIRED = RELAY Burden + Lead Burden = RELAY Burden + (2 * Rl') Available Required
E-1 = Rr + ( 2 X Rl') VA VA
20 5.6454

REMARKS:The required burden is within 25% to 100% of available burden hence CT is suitable
